Reading – A different kind of supermarket (1)

Sara Wolf and Miena Glimbovski are the owners of Original Unverpackt (which
translates into English as 'Original Unpackaged'), a supermarket in Berlin which offers
shoppers a package-free shopping experience.
The idea started when one day Sara and Miena realised how much packaging there was

9
TAREAS CYBERHOMEWORK
 INTERMEDIATE

in front of them when they were making a simple dinner. Unhappy about the amount of
plastic involved in big supermarket shopping, they decided to start a crowd-funding
campaign on the internet in May 2014 to raise money and open their own supermarket.
The campaign definitely got plenty of support from people all over the world. People
donated €115,000 in just one month. (2) A few months later, a 60m² shop opened its
doors.
Located in Berlin's Friedrichshain Kreuzberg district, Original Unverpackt basically
sells food in bulk using upside-down containers. Shoppers can bring their own plastic
bags or smaller containers or buy them at the shop. (5)

(6) But other items are actually cheaper because they are locally grown, which saves on
transportation costs and packaging. By filling their own containers, customers can also
save money because they will not be buying more than they need. According to
Valentin Thurn, writer and director of the documentary Taste the Waste, the food
industry plays on consumers' feelings by creating attractive packaging, which makes
people buy extra things. Another advantage of buying small amounts at a time is that
food is always kept fresh at home.
There are no brand names, and the origin of each product is printed next to the price.
Most of the items are dry goods – cereal, rice, beans, spices or pasta. Liquids, such as
juice, oil or yoghurt, come in bottles and jars, and customers have to pay a deposit for
those. (3) The supermarket does not have other products like canned or frozen food.

Reading – A different kind of supermarket (2)

The owners of Original Unverpackt got the idea to open the supermarket ... when they
were cooking dinner.
Customers at Original Unverpackt ... (can buy as much as they want of each product.)

Customers at Original Unverpackt ... (won't feel pushed to buy nicely packaged items.)
Customers at Original Unverpackt ... (can find information about where the products
come from.)
